Since you did not select any specific options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, or GeneratePractice are all false), I will provide a structured guide to help you complete this project successfully. This acts as a checklist and template based on the instructions in the document.
Project Checklist & Guide
Part 1: The Bone Model
*
Materials: Buy "Model Magic" (white only) OR make the homemade playdough using the recipe provided (flour, water, salt, cream of tartar, oil). *Note: Regular Play-Doh will not work because it doesn't harden.*
*
Creation: Mold your assigned bone. Make sure it is realistic in size for an adult.
*
Drying: Let it dry for at least 48 hours. It needs to be completely hard before you bring it to class.
*
Labeling: Once dry, label the specific parts of the bone (e.g., head, shaft, processes).
Part 2: The Research Essay
You need to write a one-page essay answering the questions below.
*
Format Rules:
* Font: Times New Roman, 12-point.
* Margins: 1 inch on all sides.
* Style: MLA Format.
* Sources: Use at least
3 medically reliable sources (like WebMD, NIH, or CDC). Do
not use Wikipedia or your textbook.
Essay Outline Template:
*(Use these headings or paragraphs to structure your paper)*
1.
Introduction: State clearly what type of bone you made (Question 5a).
2.
Location & Connections: Describe where this bone is found in the body and list the other bones it connects to (Question 5b).
3.
Medical Conditions: Discuss conditions that commonly affect this specific bone or joint (Question 5c).
4.
Treatments: Explain how doctors treat the conditions mentioned above (Question 5d).
5.
Bone Strength: Describe the strength of this bone. Is it weight-bearing? Is it fragile? Why? (Question 5e).
6.
Works Cited: On a separate page at the end, list your 3+ sources in proper MLA format. You can use a tool like "Easy Bib" to help generate these citations correctly.
Part 3: Submission
*
Physical Item: Bring the dried, labeled bone model to class on the due date (even if you are absent, someone must turn it in for you).
*
Digital Item: Email your essay or share it via Google Drive by the deadline.
Final Answer:
To complete this assignment, you must create a hardened model of your assigned bone using Model Magic or homemade playdough (allowing 48 hours for drying) and label its parts. Additionally, you must write a one-page MLA-formatted essay in Times New Roman 12-point font that answers five specific research questions regarding the bone's type, location, related medical conditions, treatments, and strength. The essay must cite at least three reliable medical sources (excluding Wikipedia/textbooks) and include a Works Cited page. Both the physical model and the digital essay must be submitted by the assigned due date.
